My oven died spectacularly yesterday in the middle of cooking the turkey (no, 225 is not what i set my oven at wth.... is the thermostat br- bang! Flames! Screaming oven! Melting heating element o.O)

Called up the friend and was like "say how about thanksgiving at your place?" Best. Salvaged. Thanksgiving. Took us an hour to cart everything but there was turkey and the sides, sit and shoot the shit, listen and dance to disco, hang with one of my former daycare kids. Far too much wine and mimosa's. But I super loved it. It sure as hell beat sitting in the kitchen all day with my laptop while menfolk gamed on the ps4. We now have plans for christmas. And W. Virginia for a real no dogs/work spring break.

@surreality apparently, an E Coli contamination that they can't pinpoint, so thus all romaine, anything with romaine in, grown with romaine is recalled till further notice. And the stuff i am growing isn't old enough to start trimming to eat.

There is no lettuce in the grocery stores. All i want is a salad. God damnit.

@roz I second this. I went through on Alarissa so that there could be "squishy" testing and while I died more than a few times (because things were attacking the first person through the door and I was deliberately toggling +fight, there was more than enough for someone who leans to the more social/scholarly pursuits. Like hold a conversation with a demonic head on a door and convince it that you deserve to go through, or to discern a language that the instructions on how to get through was written. And then stuff that I just couldn't do because that required athleticism and how to hold a spoon apparently doesn't count.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and yes, your combatty types will have to protect your squishies. Even well armored squishies, if the monsters decide they rather prefer the taste of the more tender things in the room.

Giving away clothes I'm made IC. It's mostly love, a little nail biting. I could junk them sure, but junkings a crapshoot and most nights when I'm punking around, I'm desc'ing up clothing for my clotheshorse of a character, so that they can be modeled the following week - aka worn once to a scene and then never again - and then about once a month of every two, just everything thrown into a chest and then emptied out and watch the herd of people come like it's some trunk sale for free clothes.

The nail bitey is that, even though I say it's for people to wear, please don't junk because it tends to be higher end materials/patterns/etc etc, I always sit there and wonder how many people actually wear the clothes or just come and grab it and the moment they're out of view, they junk it.

And then I catch a fleeting glimpse of my clothing objects on someone at a party - I look - and I smile, because I know it's getting used and someone actually likes it.

@insomniac7809 You sell shoes you saaaaay :sidles up:

@arkandel That was a creepy movie.

@tinuviel But...but...

I like shoes....

@tinuviel Amen.

or the "I never see you anymore, come over for dinner, why are you ignoring me this last month"

Woman, I'm exhausted after I send all the daycare kids home, and then clean my house, and cook dinner, and try to get laundry done. I no longer have all day to sit and quilt and meet up for lunches and go hang out at your boat house on weekends. I'm lucky if I get 5 hours of sleep and RP comes while i'm cleaning or grocery shopping or doing everything (Yes, I bring my phone and rip off poses wile picking groceries).

So I hear you. Some folks can benefit from walking in another persons shoes damnit, before making comments.

@packrat That will be a majestic floof. And that seems pretty par for the course. Ours is the same age and dear god if she does not get her wet stuff at night, she's just attacking ankles and getting in your face and screeching like a velociraptor.

@packrat I love the mittens and shin pads

@thenomain Yeah, it is. Someone had me on RS and popped over and then another showed up and it was nice. And we sat discuss ways to both follow an order from a High Lord and yet, not.

And chose a weapon of choice in a duel

I AM GETTING BAR RP THAT IS NOT ABOUT FACTION HEAD STUFF!

:squeals:

Ceri's siblings are coming to stay for a week while their owner vacations. I can't wait to see how big they are and if they beat on each other all again. Watch my son get up in the middle of the night because they have all crawled up into his boxspring and are crawling around like Ceri does.

@darinelle i hear you. Everyone is asleep still, all the dogsitting dogs are piled on the couch, i have some captain crunch and hot chocolate and it's nice and quiet. Hmmmm.

Extinction on Netflix.

Trailers gave NOTHING away. I could watch this over and over. I"m blown away.

@arkandel None. Did he go in their garage? Yes. I have no doubt. It makes sense. He plays around in his garage at home.

My guess? they wanted to fuck with us. They are folks who a frisbee landed in their yard and told the kids "not my problem it fell in here, you can wait till I feel like picking it up and giving it back" while standing beside it. The kids asked politely, i was there watching. I asked if we could come in and get it was told no. Do not come on their property.

They call the city on garbage cans put out the night before garbage day, cans not put away by the evening the day of or still there in the morning. They called the city on placement of my rosebush (you can put it anywhere just not public right of way), on my pool (It's an eyesoren illegal, we let it get green) but I have logs of maintenence, needs no permit or fence as it is a temporary installation and my levels are perfect and i ensure it drains to the back of my property to a safe drain. Uhh theyxre actively trying to get the house across the street condemned. They don't let their kids play outside if either neighbour to them is out.

So much. They almost got away with adverse possession of 6 feet of our lawn on the other side of the driveway. "But we have been maintaining this. You can't put snow here, you can't walk on here" nope. Survey says... myyyyy lawn. We will give you money to keep maintaining since our lot lines meet or we can take over, your choice but thank you for maintaining it.

Like, they are real ripe pot smoking assholes. Yes. I caught them 4 years ago smoking ut when I brought over baked goods (i am that neighbour) and it was just ripe and there was hasty putting out of their joint. After that, they have been righteous pricks.

So yes. They would do that and have no reason other than to be dicks because they can. Dud i mention she is a paralegal in a real estate attorney's office and was involved in the closing of our house and was besties with the previous owner?

Dog bolted out the door last night after getting home. This dog recalls at his name. But never bolts. We spent 45 minutes looking for him, driving streets, updating his owner. We have been this dogs sitter for almost three years.

His owners haven't left town yet, are getting ready to come over and help, night has fallen, i am freaking out.

The assholes next door - who have been WATCHING this whole time - open their garage door and start to bring him over. He went for their garage. I say assholes because they are the neighbours everyone wishes would either solve the problem that makes them assholes, or fucking move because they are unbearable assholes. They are assholes.

They had him in their garage.... for an hour, while we drove/walked, called and only brought him over when it looked like we were stopping (waiting for owner to arrive). Then proceed to tell us "we are going to call the owner and inform them of how poorly you care for their animal. We have their number on the tag, we are going to ensure they know you lost their dog"

While I was on the phone with the owner. Who has been yelled at by these people for parking too close to one sise of my driveway for the asshole's liking. So on the phone I hear the owner just laughing. "Don't worry, we know the care he gets. He gets so excited to go to your place when we say your name".

I have no fucking doubt the assholes locked him in their garage. Hell, it was a thought I had as I watched them scowling. But wrote it off, thinking nah, they can't be THAT kind of people. This dog recalls at name and is the dumb happy doofy dog tgat you can't help but love his smile.

Then I remember they hacked my rosebush because i was getting a trellis when I saw it creeping into sidewalk space and they couldn't wait an hour for me to do it. Or the cinstant calls to the city on neighbours, us, or countless other shit.

So yeah. Pretty sure they did.

Fucktards.

No, you cannot eat the beaudreaux baby butt paste.

Stop eating the vegan child's food.

stop eating the dogs food.

Stop ripping up my paperwork HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?

Stop <Squishing/carrying/lugging/squeezing/whatever> the kitten.

So, you cannot eat the pickling salt HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THAT.

OH MYGOD you just toddlered all over a check I had to cash WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT MARKER?

THere are toys a plenty here. PLENTY, but today they are not interested in any of it other than scaling the cat tree, terrorizing the kitten, emptying their diaper bags by standing on tip toes and pretending they are dogs and eating dog food.

I hate toddlers today. There's 2 more coming in an hour as well and I can't tap in my spouse because he is working on schooling/saw the writing on the wall and ran like hell for the library to use their wifi and not have ganging up toddlers.

I hate kids today.

@auspice Awww That sucks.
